Description

We're pleased to announce the much awaited arrival of Roo and Kansas' first litter of awesome Short Haired Dutch Shepherd puppies. Roo gave birth to 4 girls and 4 boys on Saturday May 24, 2014. These babies are the beautiful dark black brindles. We're accepting deposits on these babies now in order to reserve them until they're ready to go to their new homes at 8 weeks old on Saturday July 19, 2014. The deposit per puppy is $200 which goes toward the purchase price of $800.

All of our puppies come with a 1 year Health Guarantee, Health Records, 3 sets of puppy vaccinations and current de-wormings starting at 4 weeks old. They also come with a Puppy Starter Kit and a Life Time of Breeder Support. These puppies have had their dew claws removed. Both Mom and Dad are very out going and VERY protective of us. They both are very affectionate and have great prey/hunt drives! Their Sire Kansas weighs approx. 85 pounds and stands at 24 " at the shoulders. Roo, their Mom weighs 65 pounds and stands 23 " at the shoulders. We expect these puppies to have the same temperament as both parents and suitable to be used for any job they're given! Things that potential owners need to know about this breed are that Dutch Shepherds are loyal, reliable, alert, watchful, active, independent, intelligent, and intuitive. Obedience through modest specialized training and discipline can achieve remarkable results. Gifted with a true shepherding temperament, they work willingly together with their owners and can deal independently with any task they are assigned. They are neither aggressive nor shy. Dutch Shepherds have a strong character and independence passed down from their herding ancestry. Their owners need to be strong yet fair leaders. Although their character and traits suggests a strong potential for doing police or military work, care should be taken that this breed's seemingly sole purpose is not overlooked for its otherwise well-rounded character.

While there is no perfect dog for everybody, the Dutch Shepherd needs an active working lifestyle and an owner willing to make a commitment of proper socialization and training. Once the bond of trust is developed between the Dutch Shepherd and owner/trainer, their enthusiastic and intuitive nature needs little incentive or command to get them to follow through.

The Dutch Shepherd is an active and versatile breed. They compete in dog agility, obedience, Rally obedience, flyball, dock jumping, disc dog, tracking, search and rescue, protection sports such as Schutzhund, French Ring Sport, Mondio Ring and Service Dogs of America. In The Netherlands it is still employed as a herder and the instinct is still strong in the breed. Internationally, the Dutch Shepherd is best known for use in law enforcement under the KNPV program. The Koninklijke Nederlandse Politiehond Vereniging (KNPV), or Royal Dutch Police Dog Association, was founded 27 October 1907, as an organization to oversee and test dogs for their suitability for police work. Dutch Shepherds with KNPV titles are sought after candidates throughout the world for police and military use, as well as sport competitors and personal protection dogs.
